Hello All,
I don't know why I have never been here before, but I have just spent the last 2 and a half hours reading through threads and learning. I definitely recognize some of those posting here and am happy to see many I have not been familiar with in the past. Great... all I need is another forum to keep me from what I should be doing. :)
In all seriousness and after 25 years of doing little but medium format, I am returning to LF work. It all started earlier this year when I got an old, beat-up, "free to good home" 2D. Like pups and kittens advertised under the same banner, it has been anything but free! Several months and a couple thousand dollars later I have added tripods, lenses, holders and yet another camera in the form of an old Green Monster C-1. Photography seems new to me again. I am back printing platinum as well as delving into the world of the digi-neg. What fun.
In any event, I look forward to learning from you all with hopes I can return that favor and contribute what I can.
Bill
